Statement: You never, ever, ever see this one on sale. I've made such a saving.
Situation: Rationalising why you purchased 2 metres with absolutely no project in mind.
Context: Liberty lawn at less than half price.
Success rate: Variable. Depends on whether you subscribe to the glass-half-full or glass-half-empty outlook.
In the example above, it was ascertained that while I saved $33, I also spent $33. And to my great surprise apparently one does not cancel out the other.

Oh.... I'd say the glass half full is the way to go. You'll find a use for it - even if that use is just stroking it lovingly from time to time.
Sadly my husband doesn't understand the logic of "look how much I saved" when I have purchased something that I wasn't planning to purchase anyway. Granted he may have a point but he really shouldn't stand between an irrational sewing person and her fabric stash and expect to come out intact, should he?
I use this theory a lot myself. Dear Husband is not a believer :(
How about a dress for this summer?
And your reasons to buy this are all very valid. You couldn't do anything else. Really! ;-)
Man you are good at this!
Love it!
Glass half full definitely!
I feel that the word compendium should be bandied about more readily in every day conversation. I love your posts :)
half price liberty is NOT buying fabric - it is investing
You paid that much! I bought some last week for. ......no not really. Lovely fabric, and who says you need a reason. Enjoy!
ooh that is a gorgeous fabric. would just end up hanging that on the wall, would be too afraid to cut it
You mean you need a project in mind? ;)
